Last modified: April 3, 2025

The US North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) generator creates 6-digit codes that classify businesses and industries based on their economic activities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These codes are used for statistical analysis, government reporting, and industry classification.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name is ‘NAICS’, regardless of the table name.
The column name starts with ‘industry’ or ‘SIC’ and ends with ‘code’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
